Fraud and Asset Tracing covers investigations into deceptive schemes, identifying misappropriated funds, and pursuing recovery through Civil Procedure Rules, freezing orders, and tracing assets held by individuals or companies. A solicitor in this area gathers evidence, serves disclosure requests, and coordinates with investigators, forensic accountants, and opposing parties to locate gains and recover assets. They represent clients in civil actions, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty, dishonest conduct, and asset recovery strategies.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
This work involves locating hidden or cross-border assets, obtaining interim relief such as freezing injunctions or search orders, and navigating complex disclosure and evidence-gathering processes. The solicitor handles pleadings, interlocutory applications, and cross-border cooperation, where necessary, to secure assets ahead of judgment and protect reputations and commercial opportunities. Procedural hurdles and the need for precise, well-supported arguments contribute to its complexity.
